• Planet ESLAB 2023​: Understanding planets in the solar system and beyond
  2023-03-20 to 2023-03-24, ESA-ESTEC, the Netherlands


• Europlanet WorkshopSeries: Rocks from Space and Planetary Defence
  2023-04-25 to 2023-04-28, Casablanca, Morocco | hybrid
  
  Europlanet WorkshopSeries aims to inspire and encourage planetary science and space technology development across borders in developed and developing countries and across the spectrum of academia, industry and civil society.
  Europlanet WorkshopSeries is an initiative under the umbrella of the Global Collaboration and Integration Development program of Europlanet 2024 RI.
  
  The workshop will be held in a hybrid mode:
  • teachers will hold the majority of lessons in the presence (up to 25 attendees)
  • all the lessons could be followed online (up to 100 attendees)
  This third Europlanet Workshop Series will bring together space specialists, scientists and graduated students to discuss current topics in this rapidly developing space field, especially in meteorites, meteoroids, comets, asteroids and impact craters.
  
  The workshop format focuses on content and collaboration and targets in order to create an African network in Space and Planetary Science.
  
  Registration deadline: 2023-03-31


• AbGradEPEC 2023
  2023-05-03 to 2023-05-06, La Palma, Spain
  
  The symposium is open to all early-careers -- from undergraduates to postdocs and professionals. It will be a great opportunity to get to know other astrobiolgists and planetary scientists. AbGradEPEC 2023 will offer scientific sessions with contributed talks, different workshops about topics like mental health or career paths, and an excursion to sites of volcanological interest.

• 74rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2023)
  2023-10-02 to 2023-10-06, Baku, Azerbaijan
  
  The 74rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2023) will take place from October 2 to 6 in Baku, Azerbaijan. In this conference all areas of space research from space life sciences to space exploration are addressed with several interesting opportunities for students and young scientists. The IAA/IAF space life sciences symposium A1 of the IAC 2023 encompasses sessions with oral and interactive presentations with different topics. Astrobiology in general and the scientific and technical aspects of astrobiological research in space and on Earth will be discussed during this conference in different sessions and different symposia. We would like to draw your attention especially to session A1.6. Astrobiology and Exploration.
  


• OLDM'23, Origins of life Donastia Meeting
  2023-10-02 to 2023-10-04, Spain
  
  It is our great pleasure to present the Origins of Life Donostia Meeting 2023, to be held in Donostia-San Sebastian (Palacio Miramar), Basque Country (Spain), on the 2nd-4th of October 2023, in an in-person format. The motivation for organizing this event is to provide an opportunity for all of us, researchers interested in the problem of how biological complexity could emerge from physics and chemistry, to get together in a beautiful location, in a friendly environment where we can share and discuss recent ideas/results on this fascinating topic -- after a few strange years when this has been difficult to do.
  
  The meeting will be the final event of a European Marie Curie ITN Project centred on the physical and chemical roots of metabolism (https://protomet-etn.eu/), but we wanted to open it to the whole origin-of-life community. Therefore, although the programme will cover a significant number of contributions related to 'proto-metabolic systems', a wider range of subjects, within the field, will be certainly welcome. This includes scientific inputs, of course, both experimental and theoretical, but also more conceptual/philosophical reflections on open questions that remain a challenge of more general concern for the community.
